Introduction
Hello and welcome to this humble, free class of learning how to play the dholak. Playing the dholak like they play in Baithak Gana, the traditional folk music of Hindus in Surinam.
The first thing I would like you all to know is that the information in this file is based on my own perception and insight. Lessons are based on my own knowledge I gathered in my life as a dholak player. Secondly, it’s for everyone who likes to play the dholak. It does not matter what level your playing skills are. You can easily start at the beginning or skip the beginning if you are a novice.
I would like to wish you good luck with these classes and I hope you can play the dholak one day with all your heart as I do today.
Sincerely,
Sandeep Badloe
